Job description
Local Unit & Position Description:
Our industry leading Renewable department in the UK and Ireland, provides consulting engineers, data insights, deep technology expertise, modelling and software solutions. We do this to enable the successful rollout of renewable power and to deliver the energy transition. We are engaged in all phases, from initial concept evaluation through construction and commissioning into operations, life extension and decommissioning.
Within Renewables, our Turbine Engineering section consists of over 30 specialists, delivering engineering consultancy services in the areas of loads analysis, control system design and mechanical/structural design of wind turbines and their foundations. The main customers are turbine manufacturers, wind farm developers, owners and operators, as well as offshore support structure designers.
We have a long history of loads analysis and control design for wind turbines, dating back to the early days of the wind industry. As offshore wind has developed as a segment, our tools and methods for loads analysis have developed alongside, taking into account hydrodynamic effects and environmental loads from waves, tides and currents alongside aerodynamic and elastic effects. Similarly, as prototypes and pre-commercial wind farms have started to incorporate floating foundations for the wind turbine, DNV’s services have also extended to the analysis and design of such systems.
Our Opportunity:
As a Graduate, ideally with either a Marine, Naval Architecture or Offshore Engineering discipline, you’ll join a growing team of big thinkers who love investigating and finding innovative solutions to our industry’s most challenging problems. You’ll be given real responsibility from day one, collaborating with forward-thinking customers and technical experts across our business, helping deliver career and industry-defining projects. Based from either our Bristol or London hubs, you'll be given the time to build your network, the resources to support your development, and the freedom to satisfy your curiosity and desire to learn.
Working in our Turbine Engineering section, you will:
Our structured Graduate Programme therefore, provides a fantastic start to your career with us, enhancing both your technical and professional skills and supporting your journey towards chartership and becoming an expert in your field.
Position Qualifications:
As a Graduate, other than your relevant degree, we don’t expect any prior experience of Offshore engineering when you join us; However, we do want you to share our passion for renewable energy and an interest in wind turbine system design, demonstrating your desire to develop yourself within this exciting area.
We try to keep our list of essential requirements to a minimum, but there are a few things needed to qualify for this role:
What you’ll receive in return:
We value all our people and the contributions they make to our business, so it’s important that our rewards make us all feel valued here. That’s why we offer a flexible reward and benefits package, allowing you to choose the things that matter most to you, including;
We provide assurance to the entire energy value chain through our advisory, monitoring, verification, and certification services. As the world's leading resource of independent energy experts and technical advisors, we help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry. We are committed to realizing the goals of the Paris Agreement, and support all stakeholders to transition faster to a deeply decarbonized energy system.
